Well, suppose you have your code already written in Linux and you would like
to run it under Win32 without no mayor changes.  Suppose you already have
your main function defined so you could type something like this:

#ifdef WIN32 

static int 
breakargs(char *program, char *line, char **argv) 
{ 
  int argc = 1; 

  argv[0] = program; 

  while(*line) 
  { while(*line && isspace(*line)) 
      line++; 

    if ( *line == '"' )                 /* Windows-95 quoted arguments */ 
    { char *start = line+1; 
      char *end = start; 

      while( *end && *end != '"' ) 
        end++; 
      if ( *end == '"' ) 
      { *end = '\0'; 
        argv[argc++] = start; 
        line = end+1; 
        continue; 
      } 
    } 

    if ( *line ) 
    { argv[argc++] = line; 
      while(*line && !isspace(*line)) 
        line++; 
      if ( *line ) 
        *line++ = '\0'; 
    } 
  } 
  argv[argc] = NULL; /* add trailing NULL pointer to argv */ 

  return argc; 
} 

int WINAPI 
WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpszCmdLine, int
nShowCmd) 
{ 
  char *argv[100];                                         
  int  argc;                                               
  TCHAR program[MAXPATHLEN];                               

  GetModuleFileName(hInstance, program, sizeof(program));  
  argc = breakargs((char *)program, lpszCmdLine, argv);    
  main(argc, argv); 
  return 0; 
} 

#endif /*WIN32*/
